Installation Procedures

Before Installing HFBS for Revit

HFBS for Revit requires Autodesk Revit 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019 to be installed on your system before it can

be installed.

If you have not already installed Revit, please go to the Autodesk Revit website and download then install an

appropriate Revit version.

Autodesk Revit website: http://www.autodesk.com/products/revit-family/overview

To Install HFBS for Revit

First make sure that any open instances of Revit are closed. Do not run the installer with Revit running.

On a computer with Autodesk Revit 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019 installed, either download the appropriate

version of HFBS for Revit installer from the HFBS website, or contact HFBS support to obtain an installer.

When running the installer file, you may need to run this as an administrator if you have restricted access to your

computer.


http://www.autodesk.com/products/revit-family/overview

http://www.hfbsinfo.com/solutions/hfbsforrevit/install-hfbs-for-revit/


You should then see a window appear as per Figure 2.

Follow the installation prompts to run the installation until it is completed.

Figure 2 HFBS for Revit installer - The HFBS for Revit 2015 setup wizard.



After installing the HFBS for Revit and opening Revit you will be prompted to enter in a series of file and folder

locations on your computer or network drive as per Figure 3.

Figure 3 HFBS for Revit - The Application Settings window.

The application settings can also be accessed after they have been created by:

Select the HFBS ribbon tab,

From the HFBS ribbon, select the Settings button (see Figure 4).

Figure 4 HFBS ribbon - The HFBS ribbon tab and Settings button in the HFBS ribbon.

The form fields in Figure 3 should link to the following files and folders on your local computer or network drives,

you will need to configure these as per your own setup of these folder locations.



The description that follows will guide you through this process:

Revit Families

HFBS for Revit can utilise existing Revit .rfa family files if the files are named appropriately as per HFBS furniture

fitting (FF) & fixture equipment (FE) codes.

Compatible Revit family files are available at the HFBS for Revit Market website for download:

http://healthdesign.com.au/RevitMarket.

Once you have downloaded the files, place them in a windows folder location on your computer or network and

add the folder path into this form field e.g.: c:\hfbs-for-revit.

Revit Room Templates\Blocks

HFBS for Revit can utilise existing Revit .rvt room template files if the files are named appropriately as per the

iHFG guideline naming conventions.

Compatible Revit room template files are available at the iHFG website for download:

http://healthdesign.com.au/ihfg/Guidelines/Index/iHFG.

Once you have downloaded the files, place them in a windows folder location on your computer or network and

add the folder path into this form field e.g.: c:\hfbs-for-revit.

Revit Configuration

o Shared Parameters File:

HFBS for Revit requires a series of shared parameters to be added to either the existing shared parameters

file or as a new file. HFBS for Revit will look for a shared parameters file in this location e.g. C:\Revit Shared

Parameters\HFBS_Shared Parameters.txt.

Please review these shared parameters & either add them into your centralised shared parameters file or

add this file to your HFBS for Revit settings.

In Revit, shared parameters are parameter definitions that can be used in multiple families or projects.

For more information on shared parameters in Revit please consult the Revit help documentation here:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-E7D12B71-C50D-46D8-886B-8E0C2B285988

http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-E7D12B71-C50D-46D8-886B-8E0C2B285988


o Keyboard Shortcuts File:

HFBS for Revit allows you to optionally configure a keyboard shortcuts file to be used in conjunction with the

application.

In Revit you can improve productivity by using predefined keyboard shortcuts or adding your own key

combinations.

One tool can have multiple keyboard shortcuts assigned to it. Some keys are reserved and cannot be

assigned to Revit tools.

For more information on keyboard shortcuts in Revit please consult the Revit help documentation here:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-39D549F2-75EE-4C06-8B6A-3DADE1FBEF59

o Application Logging Folder:

HFBS for Revit can save application log entries to this folder, where the log entries are detailed.

This is useful in case of an error, as HFBS support can then analyse these files to determine the cause of an

error.

The application logs can be placed anywhere on your computer where you have read & write access e.g.:

C:\Revit Logs\.

Application logs follow the following naming convention HFBSforRevit20??.yyyy-MM-dd.

E.g. HFBSforRevit2015.2015-01-01.log.

Note: A default error log file is created by HFBS for Revit in the C:\Program Files\Health Projects International\HFBS

for Revit 20**\Logs\ folder. This contains all error-level entries that have occurred in the application.


http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-39D549F2-75EE-4C06-8B6A-3DADE1FBEF59


Quick Start Guide

1. Opening a HFBS Project

Important note: You must open a Revit project, to begin using HFBS for Revit. You can only do this after installing

HFBS for Revit and configuring the application settings as per the instructions in section Installation Procedures.

HFBS projects must be created in HFBS (Health Facility Briefing System) or QSOA (where QSOA is the light version of

the HFBS Briefing Module) before they can be opened in HFBS for Revit.

To create a project in the HFBS, first browse to HFBS and create your first project in the HFBS Briefing Module or

QSOA: http://hfbs.healthdesign.com.au/index.html.

For more help on this, check out the getting started with HFBS page here: http://www.hfbsinfo.com/getstarted/.

To create a new project, users can:

Create a new project in Revit then associate the project with a HFBS project, or

Open an existing project in Revit then apply the same process.

To create or open an existing HFBS project, you then need to sign in to HFBS for Revit.

1. Open Revit.

2. Open a Revit project.

3. Select the HFBS ribbon tab.

4. From the HFBS ribbon, select the Project button (see Figure 5).

If the user has not signed in, a dialog will appear for you to sign in into your HFBS account (see Figure 6).

Figure 5 HFBS ribbon - Open a project using the Project button.

5. Sign in to HFBS using your HFBS account, or select the Get HFBS Account button to signup to HFBS.

Figure 6 HFBS for Revit - Sign in to HFBS using a valid account, or select the Get HFBS Account button.

6. Select a domain from the list of available domains.

Figure 7 HFBS for Revit - Select a domain.

7. Select a project & milestone.

Figure 8 HFBS for Revit - Select a project & milestone.

8. The Project Manager window will now open & you can begin to use the application with the open Revit project.

Once a user has signed in, from then on, selecting the Project button in the HFBS ribbon will always load the Project

Manager window.

If you wish to create a new project select the Register Project button & this will open the HFBS Briefing Module with

a dialog for you to enter in the details of your new project.

After you have finished, select OK and then create your new project brief as you would normally (see Figure 9).

Figure 9 HFBS - Register Project Dialog



2. The Project Manager Window

1. Once you have opened a project in HFBS for Revit, you will be prompted to synchronize your Revit project with

the HFBS project you have opened (see Figure 10).

Figure 10 HFBS for Revit - Synchronizing the HFBS project with the Revit project.

This menu item synchronizes all HFBS departments, HFBS rooms and HFBS room items.

2. You will be asked “Do you want to synchronize the opened document with the HFBS project?” and upon

selecting OK, existing links will be detected between the HFBS project and the open Revit project.

Changes will be reflected in the HFBS project and updated in the open Revit project.

In the background, HFBS for Revit searches for specific HFBS shared parameters, then matches the values

contained in these HFBS shared parameters between the HFBS project and the open Revit project.

This can be a time-consuming process, depending on the amount of linked HFBS entries and the number of

elements in the open Revit project.



3. After the synchronization operation has completed, the contents of the HFBS project will appear in the Project

Manager window.

This window shows HFBS departments, HFBS rooms and HFBS room items in a hierarchical order.

Selecting a HFBS room will reveal the HFBS room items that are contained inside the HFBS room, where the HFBS

room items will be displayed in a panel at the bottom of the Project Manager window (see Figure 11).

Figure 11 Project Manager window - The Project Manager window with the top panel displaying HFBS departments and HFBS rooms, and with the bottom panel displaying HFBS room items.



Starting a New Project

Users can either:

Create a new project in Revit then associate the project with the brief, or

Open an existing Revit project and then apply the same procedure.

Once this is complete you are ready to start linking your HFBS project (i.e. the brief) shown in the Project Manager

window (see Figure 11) to the open Revit project.

The Project Manager window will display the linked status of all HFBS department, HFBS rooms and HFBS room

items in the form of an icon.

The key to explain these icons can be found at the top of the Project Manager window (see Figure 11).

1. How to Link a HFBS Room

1. From the Project Manager window, select a HFBS department.

2. Select a HFBS room. The HFBS room will then be highlighted.

3. Select the menu to the right of the HFBS room, then the Link Room menu item.

4. In the open Revit project, select the Revit room to link to (see Figure 12).

Figure 12 Project Manager window - Linking a HFBS room with a Revit room.



5. The icon to the right of the HFBS rom will then appear as a Partial link (see Figure 13), this is because the room

contains FF (furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics room items that need

to be linked.

These HFBS room items can be viewed in the bottom panel of the Project Manager window and linked using the

same process.

On completion of this operation, the Revit room will have populated HFBS shared parameters (such as

HFBS_Room_ID, HFBS_Room_Tag_Text, HFBS_Room_Tag, HFBS_Room_Name, HFBS_Room_Tag_Same,

HFBS_Room_Tag_Similar and HFBS_Room_Mirrored) (see Figure 13).

Figure 13 Project Manager window - Linking a HFBS room with the HFBS room icon and the Revit room shared parameters updated.



2. Inserting a Predefined HFBS Room Template File

The user can also insert predefined room templates that match the briefed room in HFBS by selecting the room

menu item Insert Room Template (see Figure 14).

Selecting the menu item will start a folder scan of the location of the room template .rvt files configured in the

Application Settings window.

Compatible Revit room template files are available at the iHFG website for download:

http://healthdesign.com.au/ihfg/Guidelines/Index/iHFG.

Figure 14 Project Manager window - Insert a predefined .rvt template that matches a HFBS room to rapidly create a Revit project.


http://healthdesign.com.au/ihfg/Guidelines/Index/iHFG


3. Other HFBS Room Menu Items/Actions

Some other options available in the HFBS room menu, but not covered previously (see Figure 14) include:

Continue Linking Rooms

This menu item will place the cursor in a mode where the user can link multiple rooms without having to return

to the Project Manager window. The rooms will be linked in ascending room ID order, starting with the room

that is selected.

eg: The user select the Continue Linking Rooms menu item on room 1, the user then selects the corresponding

room 1 in the open Revit project, then room 2, room 3 and so on.

To exit this operation (i.e. the cursor mode that is enabled), simply select the escape key, or right click on the

open Revit project and select Cancel.

Unlink

This menu item will remove the link between a HFBS room and the corresponding linked Revit room in the open

Revit project.

Zoom

This menu item, for the selected HFBS room, zooms to the linked Revit room for the open Revit project.

Synchronise Department

This menu item, for the selected HFBS department/room, will refresh all linked Revit rooms and Revit room

items.

Any links that have been made will be refreshed and updated in the Project Manager window.

Any changes that have been made in the HFBS brief will also be updated in the Project Manager window.

Highlight Untagged Room Items

This menu item, for the selected HFBS room will highlight any Revit room items or Revit families that have not

been linked (also known as tagged) (see Figure 15)

Tagging/linking HFBS room items is covered in a later section of this document.

Figure 15 Project Manager window - Highlighting HFBS room items that have not been linked inside a Revit room in an open Revit project. The highlighted Revit room items (that are unlinked) are shown on the right.



Insert/Link Room Items

This menu item allows the user to insert predefined family .rfa files that match the HFBS room items for the

selected HFBS room.

Selecting this menu item will start a folder scan of the location of the room family .rfa files configured in the


Any family files that match the HFBS room items (based on matching IDs and filenames) will be inserted.



Synchronise Room Items

This menu item is similar to the Synchronise Department menu item, however it will only synchronise FF

(furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics room items for the selected HFBS

room.

This a quick way to synchronize at a granular level.

Apply Group to Room Items

This menu item inserts the HFBS group no. for all linked HFBS room items (in the selected HFBS room), into the

corresponding Revit room items in the open Revit project (see Figure 16).

Figure 16 Project Manager window - Linked Revit room item's properties before & after the Apply Group to Room Items menu item is selected.




4. Linking Existing HFBS Room Items to a Revit Project

After linking a HFBS room to the open Revit project, you can link HFBS room items to the Revit room items located

inside the linked Revit room.

1. Select a HFBS room in the Project Manager window. The HFBS room will be highlighted.

2. In the bottom panel in the Project Manager window, locate the HFBS room item by selecting either the FF

(furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services or Fabrics tab.

The HFBS room item will be highlighted.

3. Select the menu to the right of the HFBS room item, then the Link to Existing Item menu item.

4. In the open Revit project, select the Revit room item you would like to link to.

On completion of this operation, the HFBS room item in the Project Manager window will appear with a linked icon

next to it, where the linked Revit room item will have populated HFBS shared parameters (such as HFBS_Item_ID

and/or HFBS_Item_SubID) (see Figure 17).

For a given HFBS room item, linking to a Revit room item in the open Revit project occurs in two different ways.

If the HFBS room item is unique (i.e. there is only one room item listed under a given room item ID), then

selecting a Revit room item, links to the family type via the shared parameter HFBS_Item_ID only.

If the HFBS room item is not unique (i.e. there are multiple room items listed under a given room item ID), then

selecting a Revit room item, links to the family type via the shared parameter HFBS_Item_ID and links to the

family instance via the read-only shared parameter HFBS_Item_SubID.

This SubID value is automatically generated by HFBS and is not editable by the user.

Figure 17 Project Manager window - Linking a HFBS room item to a Revit room item.



5. Inserting User-Defined/Predefined HFBS Room Items using the Insert Family Feature

After linking a HFBS room to the open Revit project, you can insert the .rfa family files that were originally configured

in the Application Settings window and have these inserted families automatically linked to the HFBS room items in

the Project Manager window.





3. Select the menu to the right of the HFBS room item, then the Insert Family menu item.

4. This will open a dialog window that presents various HFBS families that match the selected HFBS room item.

5. From the graphical list of families shown, select a single family.

6. Select the Insert button.

7. In the open Revit project, a Place Component cursor will be shown.

8. Select a location in the selected Revit room to insert the family as a Revit room item.

In the open Revit project, the selected HFBS room item will now be linked to the family (as a Revit room item) (see

Figure 18).

Figure 18 Project Manager window - Inserting an existing family file that corresponds with a HFBS room item



6. Linking HFBS Room Items using the Tagged as Text feature.

After linking a HFBS room to the open Revit project, you can indirectly link a HFBS room item to a Revit room via a

Tagged as Text shared parameter. It does not physically allocate the HFBS room item to the Revit room though.





3. Select the menu to the right of the HFBS room item, then the Insert as Text menu item.

4. In the open Revit project, select the Revit room you would like to link to.

On completion of this operation, the HFBS room item in the Project Manager window will appear with a linked (T)

icon next to it, where the linked Revit room will have a populated HFBS shared parameter (HFBS_Room_Tag_Text)

based on the ID of the HFBS room item. The shared parameter can contain multiple comma-separated ID values (see

Figure 20).

Figure 19 Project Manager window - Inserting a HFBS room item as text into a Revit room.



7. Understanding the Various HFBS Linked States

When a HFBS department, HFBS room or HFBS room item is linked from the Project Manager window to an open

Revit project, the icon will change for the respective entry, where the icon change is indicative of the change in the

linked status for this entry.

The key for these different linked states can be found at the top panel of the Project Manager window (see Figure

20).

Figure 20 The various linked states of a HFBS department, HFBS room and HFBS room item.

There is one additional linked state that can occur on a HFBS room item only. When a HFBS room item is inserted via

the Insert as Text menu item, the linked status icon appears as a “T” (see Figure 21).

Figure 21 Project Manager window - An example of a HFBS room item inserted via the Insert as Text menu item into a Revit room.

Important note: Because a HFBS project is hierarchical, the higher level HFBS department & HFBS room nodes, will

not appear as fully linked (see Figure 22) until all HFBS room items are linked.

Figure 22 Project Manager window - HFBS room linked status, where all HFBS room items inside a HFBS room must be linked for a tick icon to be shown.



8. Creating Elevations Callouts and Room Layout Sheets

Chapter 2 – The Project Manager Window Overview

1. The HFBS Project Brief

To view the Project Manager window.

1. Open Revit

2. Open a Revit project.

3. Select the HFBS ribbon tab.

4. From the HFBS ribbon, select the Project button.

5. If the user has not signed in, a dialog will appear for you to sign in into your HFBS account.

Please see section 1. Opening a HFBS Project for more information.

Figure 23 HFBS ribbon - Open a HFBS project using the Project button.

Once the user has signed in, the Project Manager window will open.

The Project Manager window shows all, the information relating to the project brief, specifically all HFBS

departments, HFBS rooms and HFBS room items (see Figure 24).

HFBS room items include FF (furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics.

Figure 24 The Project Manager window.



2. Understanding the Various HFBS Linked States

In the Project Manager window, when a HFBS department, HFBS room or HFBS room item is linked to an element in

the open Revit project, the icon will change for the respective HFBS entry

The icon displayed is indicative of the change in the linked status for the HFBS entry.

The legend for these different linked states can be found at the top panel of the Project Manager window (see Figure

25).

Figure 25 The various linked states of a HFBS department, HFBS room and HFBS room item.

Examples of Linked States and the Linked State Hierarchy

Figure 26 shows a partially linked HFBS department Medical Imaging Unit, with two partially linked HFBS rooms,

Waiting and Child Play Area.

Figure 26 The HFBS department is partially linked as not all HFBS rooms are fully linked to the open Revit project.

In Figure 27, we have a HFBS room that is partially linked. The HFBS room is only partially linked because associated

HFBS room items are not linked to the open Revit project.



Linking these HFBS room items will change the HFBS room’s icon from being partially linked, to a fully linked tick icon

or a Tagged as Text icon (see Figure 28).

Figure 27 Project Manager window - The HFBS room is partially linked as not all HFBS room items are linked to the open Revit project.

When all HFBS room items in a HFBS room are linked to the open Revit project, the HFBS room & HFBS room item

entries will be shown with the fully linked tick icon or Tagged as Text icon as per Figure 28.

Figure 28 Project Manager window - The HFBS room & HFBS room items are fully linked to the open Revit project.



3. The Project Manager Window

The Project Manager window has three main sections, based on the

Project & Milestone,

Department & Room Panel, and

Room Item Panel

These sections are hierarchically separated based on the following HFBS groups:

HFBS project and milestone,

HFBS departments,

HFBS rooms, and

HFBS room items.

The following diagram (see Figure 29) explains in detail the various groupings and functions of the Project Manager

window.

Figure 29 Project Manager window - Explanation of the Project Manager window.



4. The Project Manager Menu Items/Actions

The Project Manager window has four sets of menu items/actions that are applied by selecting the menu item that is

attached to the relevant HFBS entry in the window.

These menu items can be activated on a HFBS project entry, HFBS department entry, HFBS room entry and HFBS

room item entry.

HFBS Project Menu Items/Action

The HFBS project entry has three menu items (see Figure 30).

Figure 30 Project Manager window - The HFBS project menu items/actions.

Change

This menu item will change a HFBS milestone without closing the open Revit project.

Refresh

This menu item refreshes the HFBS project, by reloading the HFBS project, HFBS departments, HFBS rooms and

HFBS room items.

All existing links in the open Revit project will still exist.

You will be asked “Do you want to synchronize the opened document with the HFBS project?”, and

synchronization will occur as per the following description.

Synchronise

This menu item synchronizes all HFBS departments, HFBS rooms and HFBS room items.

You will be asked “Do you want to synchronize the opened document with the HFBS project?” and upon

selecting OK, existing links will be detected between the HFBS project and the open Revit project.

Changes will be reflected in the HFBS project and updated in the open Revit project.


contained in these HFBS shared parameters between the HFBS project and the open Revit project.





HFBS Department Menu Items/Actions

The HFBS department entry has multiple menu items (see Figure 31):

Figure 31 Project Manager window - The HFBS department menu items/actions.

Link Multiple Rooms

This menu item tool will place the cursor in a mode where the user can link multiple rooms without having to

return to the Project Manager window.

The rooms will be linked in ascending room ID order, starting with the Revit room that this is selected.

An example workflow is that the user selects the Link Multiple Rooms menu item on department 1, then the user

selects the corresponding room 1 in the open Revit project, then room 2, the room 3 and so on.

To exit this operation (i.e. the cursor mode that is enabled), simply select the escape key, or right click on the


Unlink

This menu item will remove the link between the HFBS department and any linked HFBS rooms in the open Revit

project.

Zoom

This menu item zooms the open Revit project to the selected HFBS department.



Synchronise

This menu item synchronizes all HFBS rooms and HFBS room items.

Changes will be reflected in the HFBS rooms and updated in the open Revit project.


contained in these HFBS shared parameters between the HFBS rooms and the open Revit project.



Apply group to room items

This menu item inserts the Grp (Group) value associated to a HFBS room item.

For all linked HFBS room items for the selected HFBS department and HFBS rooms, the Grp value is populated to

the shared parameter (HFBS_Group_No), which is added to the corresponding linked Revit room item (see

Figure 32).

Figure 32 Project Manager window - Applying the group no. to Revit room items.



HFBS Room Menu Items/Actions

The HFBS room has multiple menu entries (see Figure 33).

Figure 33 Project Manager window - The HFBS room menu items/actions.

Link Room

This menu item links a HFBS room to a Revit room in the open Revit project.

o In the open Revit project, select the Revit room to link to (see Figure 12).

o The icon to the right of the HFBS room will then appear as a Partial link (see Figure 13), this is because the

room contains FF (furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics room items

that need to be linked.

These HFBS room items can be viewed in the bottom panel of the Project Manager window and linked using the

same process.

On completion of this operation, the Revit room will have populated HFBS shared parameters (such as

HFBS_Room_ID, HFBS_Room_Tag_Text, HFBS_Room_Tag, HFBS_Room_Name, HFBS_Room_Tag_Same,

HFBS_Room_Tag_Similar and HFBS_Room_Mirrored) (see Figure 13).



Continue linking rooms

This menu item will place the cursor in a mode where the user can link multiple rooms without having to return

to the Project Manager window. The rooms will be linked in ascending room ID order, starting with the room

that is selected.

e.g.: The user selects the Continue Linking Rooms menu item on room 1, the user then selects the corresponding

room 1 in the open Revit project, then room 2, room 3 and so on (see Figure 34).

To exit this operation (i.e. the cursor mode that is enabled), simply press the escape key, or right click on the


Figure 34 Project Manager window – The workflow to continuously link HFBS rooms.

Insert Room Template

The user can also insert predefined room templates that match the briefed room in HFBS by selecting the room

menu item Insert Room Template (see Figure 14).

Selecting the menu item will start a folder scan of the location of the room template .rvt files configured in the



Unlink

This menu item will remove the link between a HFBS room and the corresponding linked Revit room in the open

Revit project.

Zoom

This menu item, for the selected HFBS room, zooms to the linked Revit room for the open Revit project.



Synchronise Department

This menu item, for the selected HFBS department/room, will refresh all linked Revit rooms and Revit room

items.

Any links that have been made will be refreshed and updated in the Project Manager window.

Any changes that have been made in the HFBS brief will also be updated in the Project Manager window.

Highlight Untagged Room Items

This menu item, for the selected HFBS room, will highlight any Revit room items or Revit families that have not

been linked (also known as tagged) (see Figure 15).

Insert/Link Room Items

This menu item allows the user to insert predefined family .rfa files that match the HFBS room items for the

selected HFBS room.

Selecting this menu item will start a folder scan of the location of the room family .rfa files configured in the





Synchronise Room Items

This menu item is similar to the Synchronise Department menu item, however it will only synchronise FF

(furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics room items for the selected HFBS

room.

This a quick way to synchronize at a granular level.

Apply Group to Room Items

This menu item inserts the HFBS group no. for all linked HFBS room items (in the selected HFBS room), into the

corresponding Revit room items in the open Revit project (see Figure 16).




HFBS Room Item Menu Items/Actions

For the selected HFBS room, the bottom panel in the Project Manager window contains all HFBS room items

grouped in separate tabs by FF (furniture fittings), FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment), Services and Fabrics room

item categories.

The HFBS room item has multiple menu items, which are shown by selecting the icon for a given HFBS room item

(see Figure 35 and Figure 36).

Figure 35 Project Manager window - HFBS room item menu items/action & HFBS room item category tabs.

Figure 36 Project Manager window - Process to locate a HFBS room and to link it to the open Revit project.

Link to Existing Item

After linking a HFBS room to the open Revit project, you can link HFBS room items to the Revit room items

located inside the linked Revit room.


2. Select the menu item.



4. The HFBS room item will be highlighted.

5. Select the menu to the right of the HFBS room item, then the Link to Existing Item menu item.

6. In the open Revit project, select the Revit room item you would like to link to.

On completion of this operation, the HFBS room item in the Project Manager window will appear with a linked

icon next to it, where the linked Revit room item will have populated HFBS shared parameters (such as

HFBS_Item_ID and/or HFBS_Item_SubID) (see Figure 17).



For a given HFBS room item, linking to a Revit room item in the open Revit project occurs in two different ways.

If the HFBS room item is unique (i.e. there is only one room item listed under a given room item ID), then

selecting a Revit room item, links to the family type via the shared parameter HFBS_Item_ID only.

If the HFBS room item is not unique (i.e. there are multiple room items listed under a given room item ID),

then selecting a Revit room item, links to the family type via the shared parameter HFBS_Item_ID and links to

the family instance via the read-only shared parameter HFBS_Item_SubID.

This SubID value is automatically generated by HFBS and is not editable by the user.

Insert as Text

This menu item allows the user to indirectly link a HFBS room item to a Revit room via a Tagged as Text shared

parameter. It does not physically allocate the HFBS room item to the Revit room though.



3. In the open Revit project, select the Revit room you would like to link to.

On completion of this operation, the HFBS room item in the Project Manager window will appear with a linked

(T) icon next to it, where the linked Revit room will have a populated HFBS shared parameter

(HFBS_Room_Tag_Text) based on the ID of the HFBS room item. The shared parameter can contain multiple

comma-separated ID values (see Figure 20).

Insert Family

This menu item allows you to insert the .rfa family files that were originally configured in the Application Settings

window and have these inserted families automatically linked to the HFBS room items in the Project Manager

window.



3. This will open a dialog window that presents various HFBS families that match the selected HFBS room item.

4. From the graphical list of families shown, select a single family.

5. Select the Insert button.

6. In the open Revit project, a Place Component cursor will be shown.

7. Select a location in the selected Revit room to insert the family as a Revit room item.

In the open Revit project, the selected HFBS room item will now be linked to the family (as a Revit room item)

(see Figure 18).

Unlink

This menu item will remove the link between a HFBS room item and the corresponding linked Revit room item in

the open Revit project.



5. HFBS Department & HFBS Room – Briefed vs Designed Physical Areas

The physical area that a room uses can be determined.

In the Project Manager window, a HFBS room contains two values related to the physical area that it uses.

Designed area – This is the total area used for a linked HFBS department/area in the open Revit project.

o For a HFBS department, this value is calculated as the sum of the actual areas used for all linked HFBS rooms

in the open Revit project.

o For a HFBS room, this value is calculated as the actual area used for a linked HFBS room in the open Revit

project.

Briefed area – This is the estimated designed area for a HFBS room.

These value appear under the HFBS department entry and HFBS room entry in the Project Manager window (see

Figure 37). If the HFBS department or HFBS room is not linked, the designed area will show as 0 m2.

Figure 37 Project Manager window - Designed area from Revit, vs Briefed area from HFBS is displayed under rooms and departments.



6. The HFBS Room Items Panel

HFBS Room Items to Link/Tag

In the Project Manager window, users can select a HFBS room and view the associated HFBS room items in the

bottom panel.

This panel contains four room item categories as tabs across the top of this panel (see Figure 38).

Figure 38 Project Manager window - HFBS Room item, tabbed panel.

These categories consist of:

FF (furniture fittings),

FFE (furniture, fixtures & equipment),

Services and

Fabrics

HFBS room items when linked/tagged can have different linked statuses. These are shown in Figure 39).

Figure 39 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, linked status legend.

Untagged HFBS Room Items

All untagged HFBS room items are displayed in a list with a cross icon next to them (see Figure 40).

Figure 40 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, ready to be tagged or linked.



Tagged HFBS Room Items

All tagged HFBS room items are displayed with a tick, blue half square, or red box to the left of them, with a full

explanation and key displayed in Figure 41 & Figure 42.

The Qty column indicates the number of HFBS room items that are required by the HFBS project brief.

The Tag column indicates the actual number of tags/links created by the user between the HFBS room item and

the open Revit project.

Figure 41 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, tag symbols explained, note quantity and tag are used in conjunction to determine the icon that is shown.

Figure 42 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, explanation of the relation between the Qty column & Tag column.



HFBS Room Item - Services Tab

When the user selects the Services tab, all services are listed.

The only services that require linking/tagging are ones that have a quantity in the Qty column. All other services are

for reference only (see Figure 43).

Figure 43 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, the Services tab, where some room items are not require to be linked (see the Qty column).



HFBS Room Item - Fabrics Tab

When the user selects the Fabrics tab, all fabrics are listed.

Fabrics are shown for informational purposes only, and linking is not required as the Qty value is always 0 (see Figure

44).

Figure 44 Project Manager window - HFBS room item, the Fabrics tab, showing a list of room items.



Chapter 5 – HFBS Methodology & Work Flow

HFBS for Revit Methodology

HFBS for Revit is designed to increase productivity by linking the HFBS Briefing Module directly into Revit.

It serves as a drafting, design and asset management program allowing Planners and Architects to link a brief created

in the HFBS Briefing to a project in Revit right down to room items.

HFBS for Revit expands on Revit, by using tracking compliance with the HFBS briefing system and providing a highly

functional user interface that can be directly accessed inside of Revit.

The best way to use HFBS is to complete the brief before design, while usually the architect will complete the design

followed by the full documentation

Instead, the HFBS project brief gets completed using HFBS before the design phase.

Creating Individual Room Layout Sheets (RLS)

As previously explained, it is possible to link an individual room with a room layout sheet (RLS) either by:

Linking an existing HFBS room to a Revit project, or by

Inserting a room template file directly into the Revit project

Please see section 2. Inserting a Predefined HFBS Room Template File for more information.

Recommendations for using HFBS for Revit with Small to Medium sized projects

Working with small to medium size projects in the HFBS environment can be achieved by linking HFBS

departments and HFBS rooms to a single (unlinked) Revit project.

Recommendations for using HFBS for Revit with Large sized projects

In previous sections we have pointed out that in HFBS, the HFBS project gets created, then the Revit project is

created in accordance with the project brief.

HFBS departments and HFBS rooms gets created, and then assigned to the Revit project.

Modelling large projects:

A Revit modeller can link HFBS rooms inside HFBS departments from the brief.

Where a team of architects/health planners will be working in Revit activating other work sets, the model should be

divided into multiple worksets, level by level.

The number of work sets is dependent on the size of the project, and each level can be divided into multiple zones.

To link HFBS rooms in a large project, a view can be created in Revit, this view can be named “FF & FE” or

depending on the office standards.

Families are inserted in the “FF & FE” view for linking/tagging.

Architectural elements such as walls, windows, doors for example can be modelled in a different view.



Workset Creation

Worksets can be useful in a Revit project where HFBS for Revit is being used.

Use worksets in Revit when you want to reserve parts of a project so that only the assigned user can edit the

elements in that workset. Also consider these benefits for creating worksets:

Convenience for editing

Dividing a project into worksets makes it easier to make sections of a project editable at once.

Visibility control

You can control overall visibility in a project when you link Revit models into other Revit projects. For example, it

is often convenient to turn off visibility of the Shared Levels and Grids workset when linking models so that you

do not have to turn off levels and grids individually in each view.

You can assign a display mode to worksets so that you can visually identify and differentiate them in your model.

For more info on planning worksets, see the Revit documentation here:


explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Revit-Collaborate/files/GUID-6054CEF3-C4E6-4334-BA43-

568DF5DF5702-htm.html

After enabling a team project for work-sharing, create worksets to organize elements into collections so that team

members can display and work on selected worksets.

Open your local copy of the central model.

Select the Collaborate tab Manage Collaboration panel (Worksets).

In the Worksets dialog, select New.

In the New Workset dialog, enter a name for the new workset.

To display the workset in all project views, select Visible in all views.

Clear this option if you want the workset to display only in views where you specifically turn on its visibility.

You can change the visibility of worksets later in the Visibility/Graphics dialog.

Note: To improve performance, hide worksets that are not required for current work in the local model.

Select OK.

The new workset displays in the list of worksets; it is editable, and your user name displays for Owner.

If you are setting up a workshare model for your team and want to assign owners to each workset, each team

member must open a local copy of the central model, select the workset in the Worksets dialog, and then select

Yes in the Editable column.

When you finish creating worksets, select OK to close the Worksets dialog.

If you have added only one new workset, Revit prompts you to make the new workset active. Select Yes or No.

For more information on creating worksets, see the Revit documentation here:
